The battalion took on a 9/11 Memorial Ruck Stair Climb to honor the fallen and remember the heroes of that fateful day. Huge shoutout to the UH Air Force ROTC cadets for joining us on the steps and building that joint-force bond.
We were privileged to welcome our 5th Brigade Command Team, COL Decker and CSM Gilmer! After dropping invaluable knowledge and guidance on our future officers, they strapped on their rucks and conquered the stairs right alongside us.
To top off a powerful day, three of our own were recognized for their outstanding growth, dedication, and resilience:
Cadet Cook (S-3)
Cadet Williams (MSIII)
Cadet Hall (MSIII)
Proud of their grit and the standard they continue to set for the battalion. Heavy rucks, high steps, and unmatched leadership.
